Braggart ... Boast

Today's word is "braggart" ... A person who does a lot of bragging.

Boast
When I was small, I was the smartest,
I was funny and I was fit,
I earned great grades and people loved me,
I was the kid that wouldn't quit.

As I grew, things just got better,
The girls they flocked to see my face,
I played sports and of course excelled,
No one could keep up with my pace.

Now I have a job that's envied,
A house that's grander than the best,
My kids are beautiful and graceful,
And much smarter than the rest.

I hope you don't think me a braggart,
'Cause everything I say is true,
Sometimes people do get jealous,
I hope that is not true of you!
